sli 7300gt.s 256mb each just for fun an cus they wer so cheap

[curt]

i just resintly bought a 7300gt for a back up card figured it would be slow as shit an it wasent it actuly pumps out some desint frames like it can play fear on the same fx setting i use for my 8800 an it barly chops

allso i hered the 7300.s run kinda hot this one dosent with my coper shim addon it cant hit 50c evin oc.ed so sli,ed they should run nice an ill get to see how good sli actuly works an diside on a seconed 8800gts640mb

any way i payed about 35 bucks each canadian

seconed one should be here tomaro [i give the 7300gt a 6600gt power mark] about the same raw power if never tested any thing but my card so far on the 8800 line
so i duno how it would compare to a 8500 or a 8400 [i saw my friend running 2x8600.s an it seamed to have ishews chopin here an ther] but that could be his set up i told him to get to cards from the same company ones evga an ones sumthin els his prob

the 2x 7300gt.s im getting ar identical both ar pny cards an have a half desint heat sink on them an like i sead they run cooler then most cards like my 6800 evin the ram was cool wile running 3dmark 03 on the one card not a heavy gamer card for shure but a dam nice server card im just doing the sli for fun an cus they wer 35 bucks so i thout y the hell not i dun care if i fry both lol my power suply cost more then both thows

men, aparently you don't speak english (me neither but you need to train your gramma), and to tell the truth I DON'T understand your post, if you speak spanish post in that language and I'll try to help you out........if not simply redifine your question to a more simple context, or wait to another TPU member.

Sorry

He is basically saying that he is impressed with the performance of the 7300GT as he thought it would be a lot worse. Hence, (due to the low price of them) he has gotten a second one to see how it would run in SLi. He is also impressed with the temperature of the card, and believes it performs roughly the same as a 6600GT.

@ curt: With your friends 8600's (or any graphics cards), the second brand (EVGA/PNY, etc) dont matter when it comes to SLi/Crossfire...as long as they are the same model (eg, 8600GT with 8600GT or 7300GT with 7300GT) they will work the same as if they were the same brand. The only thing is if the clock speeds are different on the two cards, which doesnt really matter either, because the faster card will just run at the slower speed.

Anyways, good luck with the SLi setup ...tell us how it runs .

Earlier this year, I picked up an "open box" Leadtek 7300GT that had DDR3 memory and was clocked higher then the standard 7300GT cards... it offered very impressive performance for the $65 price. I think the clocks were 520 MHz core and 700 MHz memory, and the 3DMark05 score was right around 4000. It had a cheap heatsink, so it ran somewhat warm... idle temperature in the upper 40's and load temps just shy of 70. Anyway, I would consider that model to be the "king" of 7300GT cards.

Time changes everything though... compared to the 8600GT and 2600 Pro which can be found for well under $100, the 7300GT's performance now seems rather weak. If you can find a good 7300GT for under $50, I think it is still a good buy for mild gaming. Anything more then that and I would suggest spending around $80 on the 8600GT (or 2600 Pro if you prefer ATI).
